That was a sad e-mail, really sad... Steve was always a great guy, since the old 3DG days. I never meet him in real world, but I´m more than impressed by not only his skill and talent, but by his generosity to share his knowledge and AWESOME meshes with anyone who asked. A history? Let´s go...
One day I came to this site and, after to see a rendering of ONE of his meshes, I sent him an e-mail asking about a copy and permission for 3dsmax conversions. Next day he repplyed:
A friend from Brazil? How you doing? Yes, you can have a copy of that mesh and of others too. The address is XXXXXXX, good luck in converting them to 3ds max. Let me know when finished.
And the meshes are amazing. Errors? Almost zero... It´s a shame I never finished at least one conversion to show him.
I can't say that I knew him that well, but I would certainly call him a friend and I´m greatly saddened by his passing.
We have lost a gentleman, an entusiastic member, one of our shining stars and our greatest talents.
Take care Steve, whatever you are.
Cassio
